Sorry I'm late. May I add the WYSIWYG perspective: if what you type is what you get, then
- starters gets you appetizers - chat gets you gossip, rumors (only IRC gets you fun :) - users gets you to the most frustated group of people ever created by applied information technology (the so called MFGPECAIT's ;) - help promises help (suggested by Hans, O.K. for me) - answers gets you answers, my 2 pennies

Ok so let's find a good name.
squeakers squeak-starter squeak-chat squeak-users (i'm afraid that people think about using = etoy but why not).
I like the chat idea of the meeting on irc (that I usually miss).

Stef,
I will help with what I can. Anyway I'll don't wait to be some kind of expert (by the way... wich nobody cant tell you when that happen) to give some help to users. I must say that I support this idea and I think is the rigt direction.
I must say too that the list's name "squeak-starters mailing-list" is not going in this direction and what is worse is subtlelty teaching everybody that is not. I say this because it will keep allways the subscribers thinking in theirselves as starters (of something that should be "going" someday). I would agree with a name like "squeak-users" so it subtlelty teach that (in fact) *is* going. I think it will help us to help.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi all
I would like to have a list for newbies: squeak-starters because (I see it now with my students) newbies are really afraid to post, experience with python mailing-list doing the same are a success so we should learn.
Now I would like to have a couple of good souls to help me answering the questions on this squeak-starters mailing-list.
So if we are 4 or 5 we win!
Stef
